Corrction: the Dog is not a border collie - sweet natured working dog - but is a .... I don't know, maybe a cross between a Blue Heeler/Kelpie/Border Collie??

He's tough, macho - well, except when he shows his gooey side.

CamiSu,

Yes, I saw that the Dog has died, and Murray Ball is maybe not going to continue, but I'd be surprised if that is really-truly the end of the cartoon strip.
